July 2025 Outreach Toolkit

This page contains library outreach ideas for July 2025. To view the contents of the full Marketing Outreach Toolkit, visit the project LibGuide.

Reflect and Refresh This Summer!

Did you know the PALNI Outreach Toolkit is now four years old? We’re proud to continue offering resources that support your outreach efforts, highlight your staff and services, and help you build stronger connections with your campus community.

July is often a quieter month, making it an ideal time to reflect on your past efforts and lay the groundwork for a successful academic year ahead. As we celebrate how far we’ve come, we encourage you to use this time to:

  • Make a list of marketing and outreach goals for the upcoming academic year

  • Reflect on what worked well this past year—and where there were challenges

  • Identify campus partners you’d like to collaborate with in the coming months

  • Organize your images and templates into folders for easier content creation

  • Submit ideas or requests through our Suggestion Box to help shape future toolkits
